When people ask me why I say Sassy wasn't my heart and soul pet, I don't really have an answer. I feel like I didn't have a real strong bond with her, we loved one another - no doubt about it - but it wasn't the same. Mikey, well I've only had this boy a little over a month, but he just might be my "heart" dog. I LOVE him so much, he isn't the cuddley type, but he loves me - he is my constant companion and follows me everywhere. I get SO angry with him and SO frustrated with some of the stuff he does on a daily basis but I can't be mad at him. When I come home from anywhere he gets so happy his entire butt wiggles. He has only jumped in my lap so far and has slept there. He chills in my room every night. I LOVE him to death - he is my social life. I don't have one anymore - but I don't mind. Mikey is all I need, he is an amazing dog, and I cannot imagine life without him. He was definitely made for my family - maybe he's my FAMILY'S heart pet. He loves all of us, he may not cuddle much, but there's 100% love in those eyes that make me melt.



Star, was my albino parakeet who died the past year at the age of 5. Oh god, I could go on and on about her. She was such a brat - but she was a lover at heart. She loved apples and taking pictures - she was such a ham for photoshoots as you guys know! She had the prettiest plumage of any bird I've ever seen. She tweeted and chirped when I came into the room and I was the only one who could hand-feed and pet her. May my lovey rest in peace.


Jeri, my RB hermit crab, now this sounds weird but I'll never have a hermie like her. She was one in a million, that's for sure. She wasn't afraid of anything and she never pinched me or even attempted, she let me take any pictures of her and she would just sit wherever I put her. Beautiful baby too, may she RIP.
